reloading help...
I reload some rifle ammo ,but the scarcity of short shotgun ammo for my old guns is forcing me into the shotshell world.
On advice of the supplier I have on order some components for short ten's (ITX shot ) and 16's,and the appropriate manuals for 10,16 and ITX shot
the components are as follows
10 Federal hulls (trimmed )BPD 10 wad's,and 12 gauge filler wads ,#2 ITX shot
16 Fiocchi hull's, commander wads,7 1/2 magnum shot (both 10 and 16 will be roll crimped )
The powders and primers I have to buy seperately from another Canadian supplier who sells Hogden,Winchester and IMR powders
I've went through Petes gracious post on short ten loads,but couldn't find one that listed the component's I have,and as I haven't received my manuals yet my question is how critical are the exact component's to each load recipe? (as in cartridge loads )
And also ,what powder and primer combo would be a good compromise in both gauges ,as I'm trying to keep costs down
Thanks before hand for any help you guys can give me,
Chris
